Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a new ebook reader app called Readest—a lightweight, fast, and open-source reader with seamless cross-device sync! Built with Tauri v2 and Next.js 15, it’s designed to rediscover the joy of reading with a smooth and immersive experience.

🚀 What Makes Readest Awesome:

📚 EPUB & PDF Support – Seamlessly handles EPUBs and PDFs.

🔄 Cross-Device Sync – Your book files, reading progress, highlights, and notes sync effortlessly across devices.

🎨 Customizable Reading Modes – Adjust themes, fonts, and layouts, including support for vertical EPUBs.

🖥️ Split-View Reading – Perfect for side-by-side comparisons or text analysis.

🗣️ Text-to-Speech – Listen to your books with built-in read-aloud support.

🌐 Online Reading – Access your library and read directly in your browser. Try it online.

💡 Open-Source Goodness – Built with love and available for everyone to explore and contribute.

📂 Works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and the Web
